Unless you really know what you're doing you shouldn't attempt the E4 below Lv50.. But I did it once. And That was a surprise that I got though. I had really stocked up on items so I could do it. I think I had to Item stall the later members, since I didn't have any legendary on the team. I ended up being at Lv50 when I finished. I think it could have been my first Diamond play through, so I only had access to "Sinnoh" natives. (So I can't check it out as the card is gone.)

HELP ME!!! I'm in platinum, in the distortion world, and when I made it to strength puzzle, I hit the boulder down the wrong hole! How do I find it? I put the boulder in the right hole for the other two, and the other one won't appear. I can't go back... I saved after I did it! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I'm looking for someone with Kanto Tent 5 stars in their festival plaza. Please message me if you do, I'd like to get that in mine. I can trade you a little something in return.

i have a question - when you breed pokemon, does the offspring have the same chance of holding a particular item as it would in the wild?

yeah i know, it's a ludicrous concept, but if it were the case, it wouldn't be the most ludicrous concept in the games, and i'm a little tired of trying to find the buggers in the wild with their 50% chance of holding the elusive item, so i'm wondering if breeding would get me these items, and less boringly and annoyingly.

No it's not possible. If it were, people would be breeding Chansey like crazy to get Lucky Eggs

When trying to find items on wild Pokémon, have a Pokémon with Compoundeyes lead your party. This will double the chance of items being held. You should find items a lot easier doing this.

cheers mate, i had forgot this, but it's indeed a big help when looking for items. thanks for reminding me!

you could create a big item hunting team - a frisker for knowledge, a compoundeyes leading the party for increased chances, one of them - preferably the frisker who you're switching into - knowing thief - or covet - which removes the need to catch the pokemon, and 4 pickup pokemon for good measure. you basically go around robbing pokemon and scavenging for gear.

scabbiest pokemon party possible

dustox can have CE and thief, and it can also have frisk and thief theoretically too, although only from the dream world. same for furret, although it knows covet which does more damage. galvantula can have CE and thief!

i feel like a scaghead just discussing this. nevertheless, cheers guys
